Korean Job Discussion Forums

I just landed a Uni job and I'm worried my CBC won't come back in time. Are there any extensions or anything I can do while I wait for my documents? I remember last time I extended my E-2 it was past the expiration date on my card and they didn't say anything.

Any help appreciated.

I thought as long as they charged you, you could get an extension from immigration. But that is if the school wants to go through the hassle I would assume. Get a korean friend to go to immigration with you and settle it.

From the website it says you can fie an extension of stay if you go to immigration with this:

Document requirements are as follows
Passport
Foreign registration card
Application form
An employment contract
A copy of registration of educational institute establishment and operation
A copy of business registration
A reference
Fees (tax stamp 30,000 won)


Standard of the review of permission for extension of stay
Reasonableness of continuous activity to teach foreign language
Foreigners that belongs to either of below-listed cases shall be limited for extension of stay:
- A foreigner with no qualification
- A foreigner personally teaching foreign language in the place other than educational institute or educational organization
- A foreigner with unsteady domestic stay status such as frequent change/addition of place of employment or duplicated employment

So it seems if you have already been offered a job and have an ARC you can extend until your FBI check arrives? I hope this is the case.
